Notes
* Either buy a roast duck from a Chinese restaurant, or to roast a duck yourself preheat an oven to 180 degC/355 Fahrenheit, prick duck all over with a sharp knife, season with salt and pepper, and place on a roasting rack inside a roasting dish. Roast for 1 ½ hours, letting all the fat render out.
